New Carpet!

Last year when we bought our house we put in new carpet. The carpet has been such a nightmare! It sheds worse than a dog! When Jack was little he and Jimmy would put carpet in the mouths ALL DAY LONG! and so I'd either end up pulling it out of the mouths or stepping on wet wads of carpet. But that's not even the worst thing about the carpet!!! It clogged our vacuum so much that nothing can make it through the tube to the bag. So I finally bought a new vacuum 2 months ago and after 5 minutes it over heats and dies. So it takes a whole day to vacuum my house, since the vacuum has to rest for an hour at a time. Well finally Home Depot is going to give us new carpet, and we just had to pay the difference, since we decided to go with some that was a little more expensive, and hopefully better made. I am so excited. It's going to be a pain to move all our furniture this time though, since last time we hadn't moved in, so the house was empty. We went for carpet that is darker this time, so that's probably going to make our house look completely different!

On a different note, yesterday Jackson and I went to a class at Gymboree since I got a free pass on their website. Jackson had so much fun. Of course the first thing he saw was a basketball hoop, so he spent the first 5 minutes shooting hoops. But then he realized there were slides and tunnels and alot more balls around the room. The class had a theme of "push and pull" so every activity they had us do was to teach the children the concepts of push and pull. Jack's favorite activities were being pushed on a little scooter and being pulled around on the parachute. He also enjoyed running up a hill of mats and pushing a ball over the edge. When they pulled out the parachute, Jack was excited because he likes to shake it with the other kids at the library. But yesterday they had all of us parents lift it up and pull it under us to make a dome. When Jack realized he didn't have an exit he got really upset and he and I got out. I hope he's not claustrophobic. We had a good time, I don't think we had enough fun to pay $90 a month to go, but it was a good one time fun! Before I left I bought some bubbles, because the library uses Gymboree bubbles and they are awesome. Seriously they are like ever-lasting bubbles, last night Jason and I were blowing some for Jack and the floated around the house for quite and while and then the ones Jack didn't pop landed on the floor and 2 hours later there were still bubbles sitting on the floor!!!

We went to the rodeo on Saturday night with a couple of our friends who I set up on a blind date. I was super nervous that something would go terrible and they both would hate me, but they had a good time and I think they'll probably go out again. The rodeo was a blast, I wish little Jack would've been there, he would've loved seeing all the animals. Unfortunately none of my pictures turned out, the lighting was really weird.

I turned 23 on Monday. I had one of those weird girl days where you want to cry for no reason, plus I was sick on Sunday and Monday. But my family tried to make it good anyway. Mom took me to eat at The Good Egg for breakfast (I love their crepes!). Then I had lunch with Jason and opened my gifts, which I love! I got 2 new shirts and earrings and a straightener and rechargeable batteries for my camera! After work Autumn came over and we made a cake and waited until Jason got home from school to eat it. When Jason and Autumn sang Happy Birthday, Jackson tried his best to sing it to, it was the sweetest thing I've ever heard! Thanks goodness for my sweet family, especially Jason, I love them so much!

Here's some random pictures:

Jack helping bring the groceries in. The bag broke from him dragging in across the driveway, so here he is trying to pick up all the stuff that fell out. It was so cute.
